So what’s not working?

• Extending questions:  When you extend a question the updated number of days until expiry is not reflected on your question.  It remains at the same number of days.  Don’t worry, the question has been extended and will stay open for the extended duration…. it just doesn’t show the correct number on the question page.  As an impact of this, you may see open questions which say `Question period ended`.  This is purely where the number of days counter has hit zero but the question has been extended.
• Mails are not being sent when you receive a new answer to your question.  You will still receive other emails, such as when your contacts ask questions.
• Our External API is not currently working.  If you make use of this tool on your website you may want to join this Yahoo! Developer Group to keep up with the latest information on this:  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-answers/

We’re working hard to get these outstanding issues resolved and will update this post when we iron out the bugs…

• Emails – these are now sent to your contacts when you submit a question. And when you receive an email about a new answer, the text properly describes the answer.
• Dictionary – there are now more words in the spell check function! So when you ask or answer a question, and need help with the spelling, the correct word should appear.

We will keep fixing those pesky bugs and develop more new features for all of you. So whenever you see a “Taking a Breather” page, please be patient! We’re just trying to make Answers better for you. If you have any other suggestions, comments etc., please leave a note!
